Abstract:
We demonstrate an exact local transformation which maps a purely Fermionic many-body system to a system of spinful bosons and spinless fermions, demonstrating a possible path to a non-Fermi-liquid state. We apply this to the half-filled Hubbard model and show how the transformation maps the ordinary spin half Fermionic degrees of freedom exactly and without introducing Hilbert space constraints to a chargelike quasicharge fermion and a spinlike quasispin Boson while preserving all the symmetries of the model. We present approximate solutions with localized charge which emerge naturally from the Hubbard model in this form. Our results strongly suggest that charge tends to remain localized for large values of the Hubbard U.

Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must have a...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
